Always check the areas surrounding
garage doors and gates for people or
obstructions before programming or
during operation of the HomeLink system:

Programming or operating the HomeLink
system without verifying the safety of areas
surrounding garage doors and gates is
dangerous and could result in an
unexpected accident and serious injury if
someone were to be hit.

NOTE

The programming will not be erased even
if the battery is disconnected.

▼

Pre-programming the HomeLink
System

NOTE

It is recommended that a new battery be
placed in the hand-held transmitter of the
device being programmed to HomeLink
for quicker training and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency signal.



Verify that there is a remote control
transmitter available for the device you
would like to program.

Programming the HomeLink
System

The HomeLink system provides 3 buttons
which can be individually selected and
programmed using the transmitters for
current, on-market devices as follows:
1. Press and release the HomeLink button

you would like to program. The
indicator light flashes slowly in amber
when the button is pressed.

2. Hold the hand-held transmitter 2.5 to

7.5 cm (1 to 3 in) away from the
HomeLink button you would like to
program while keeping the indicator
light in view.

NOTE

Depending on the hand-held
transmitter, it may be easier to do the
programming by holding it 15 to 20 cm
(6 to 7.8 in) away from the HomeLink
button.

3. Press the hand-held transmitter button

continuously until the indicator light
changes from amber (flashing) to
green (on/flashing).

NOTE

Some gate operators and garage door
openers may require you to replace
this Programming Step 3 with
procedures noted in the “Gate
Operator/Canadian Programming”
section.
